Thanks, Zo. Did the Provigil specifically help your wakeful focus? That's what I'm looking to target.
Actually, I really trust the doc that I'm seeing - he is empathic, intelligent, very knowledgeable of ADHD (it is one of his specialties) and open to trying new things. He knows that I'm well-informed and respects my insights and suggestions, but isn't afraid to argue with me or offer his own contradictory experience or knowledge! Like I mentioned, I don't think he'll object to me trying Provigil (or anything else, for that matter) if I let him know that I *really* want to try it, and why, instead of merely asking if he had had any success with it.
And if he doesn't, I'll find another doctor, because I'm shooting for the "oh, my, this is good!" :)
Thanks!!!
